Gift Aid
Every gift you make to Macmillan - whatever its value - could be worth more at no extra cost to you just by choosing to Gift Aid it. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs will add an extra 25p to every £1 you give to Macmillan.
How does Gift Aid work?
It's simple. As soon as you give your permission by completing a Gift Aid declaration form, we can claim the tax back on your donation. This means that a £10 donation will be worth £12.50 and for every £50 gift, we will actually receive £62.50.
Do I have to give regularly?
No. We can claim the tax back on a donation of any amount that has been made to us in the last six years. It doesn't matter whether you make a one off donation or set up a regular standing order or direct debit. A single Gift Aid declaration will cover all future donations that you make to Macmillan.
Am I eligible for Gift Aid?
If you are a UK tax payer, yes. Even if you are not employed, you are still eligible if you are paying tax on any of the following:
-
Personal or occupational pension
-
Stocks and shares
-
Bank and building society savings accounts
-
Rental income
-
Overseas and UK investment dividends
How do I start?
Simply complete the Gift Aid declaration [PDF, 42kb] when you make a donation to us. If you want your taxes to go to something you really care about, then this opportunity is simply too good to miss.
